This scene from Shoreview, Minn., on Sunday was similar to that seen in the Twin Lakes Area as the year's second winter weather event swept into Arkansas.

The effect of the second winter weather event to strike the Twin Lakes Area this year will not be as severe, but dangerous wind chill values have closed all area schools, extending the Christmas vacation period by at least one day.

With the National Weather Service announcing a wind chill warning until noon today, followed by a wind chill advisory that lasts until 6 a.m. Tuesday, temperatures predicted to dip into the multiple digits below zero have forced Cotter, Flippin, Mountain Home, Norfork and Yellville-Summit to all cancel classes today.
